Alabama has a tough road schedule in 2008, but I think they will post a better record in 2008 for a few reasons.

Nick Saban will make sure they are prepared for easy teams like Arkansas State and Western Kentucky, so they are not embarrassed like they were by Louisiana-Monroe in 2007.

But if Alabama is not doing well, they could easily lose the last three games of the season.

John Parker Wilson is critical in our success this season. If he makes mistakes like he did last year, Alabama's season is doomed.

But our awesome corps of receivers can bail him out of tough situations. Also, Terry Grant can provide an explosive running attack.
